Hanmer Tree House - unique location on forest edge

This holiday home in Hanmer Springs is the perfect place to relax in the thermal pools, check out boutique shops and restaurants, bike and walk or run the numerous trails or get amongst the thrill-seeking activities. The Hanmer Tree House sits on 0.6450 ha in a unique location, surrounded by forest reserve. This property has the space to picnic under trees on the grass or to let the kids and pets run free! It is dog fenced on one side and borders forestry reserve on the others. There is a large grassy area with a fenced off section (10m by 5m) for people wanting somewhere secure for an unattended dog - this area also has trees for shade. It is super quiet and private yet only a 10 minute stroll into the centre of town.

There is an awesome stainless/cedar outdoor bath on the deck, with views to the mountains and the amazing night sky. The house also has a loft area with a single mattress that kids love to play in. While it sleeps 6, it is best suited to a maximum of 5 adults as there are only 2 bedrooms and the living area is modest. If you need room for more please check out the "Apple Tree Cabin" listing on bookabach - this is a wee cabin on wheels next door to the main house that can be booked separately - it is self contained with a queen-sized bed, ensuite and kitchenette and it's own outdoor bath. This can be added to your booking for $150 a night - just flick us a message if you'd like to add it.
There are awesome walking and mountain biking tracks just over the fence (we have one adult mountain bike and some kids' bikes that you are free to use). There are board games, a plastic toddler playground and a hammock.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only
Pets are most welcome but please keep outside of house unless you can promise no damage to internal furnishings and no dog hair left behind. There is a medium sized dog kennel (no run) and a fully fenced tree area.
Loft not recommended for pre-schoolers due to the height. Also it is not advised to sleep up in the loft due to potential difficulty getting out easily in the event of a fire.
House must be left as found - ie, guests are expected to clean and tidy on departure.
NO PARTIES - Zero tolerance for parties, any wilful damage from parties will result in Police involvement and potential charges.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave (ie, leave it as you found it); You will also need to wash and dry the linen used before your 11 am departure (washing machine, powder and dryer provided). Alternatively you can byo linen/sleeping bags or pay extra to hire linen which will be dropped off and collected so that you don't need to wash and dry it.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

What a lovely place! If you're looking for quiet, privacy,spacious surroundings, nature and serenity, this is the spot!Price is kept low by not having high service - clean yourself, take what you need with you and don't mind the huhu beetles flying in - which is fine by us. We loved it!Especially the tub on the deck and the feeling of being all alone, yet just a couple of minutes from town. We'll be back. The communications from the owners are friendly and welcoming.
